Finally after a few years Dominique"s mom gathered up the courage to take flight in "ClipAway" on August 18, 2006.I
snapped this picture as we descended to 4000 feet just after the crew
called to ask how she was doing(is there really any question?)

After landing, "mom" was ready to go again!!

My crew and I together enjoying a dinner. Starting on the left: Olivier, Katrine, Stephanie, Pierre, Dominique, and myself

The flight was cancelled, but my crew stuck around for a few laughs and to enjoy the double rainbows.

Hurry to the pitstop,,,, the fog is lifting ... we are going to fly!!!

Over the years I've landed many times on this one landowner"s property. This particular morning we landed here once again. But this time it was different - Ghislaine (the landowner) flew with me. She's in the center of the picture, and wore the ClipAway crew shirt in flight !!!

St.Jean-sur-Richelieu has drawn ClipAway and her pilot back since her first appearance in 2002.

I hope these pictures show why.

Thanks to my crew, wonderful people, and memories, I again look forward to returning.
